"Finally....something really different on Etsy!! Beautiful jewelry that is today as well as yesterday...I love all your pieces. You have them pictured in a most appealing way..I'm surprised you have anything left in your shop!! Really wonderful pieces!!"

"Plenty of spectacular vintage jewelry. I have always felt that no one had a more enthusiastic view of the importance of art and beauty than the victorians. Fine looking jewelry in a fine looking site."

today's featured seller-The Mint Wagner Gallery

I met this wonderful fellow jewelry artist through my supply shop on Etsy. She has always been the kindest person, with a true appreciation for the product and the story behind it. The beads that she incorporates into some of her lovely creations come directly from my stash of vintage brass beads that I inherited from my Grandmother, who worked for the Vogue jewelry company from the 1940s through the 60s. Shown on the pieces here are the textured gold brass rondelles and beads. here is an excerpt from her profile on Etsy:About Me and my Jewelry:"My name is Melissa and I am a woman who loves opposites: Light/Dark, Organic/Industrial, Ancient/Modern - and the best thing about these opposites is when they come together in the middle, co-mingling and creating interest and support for one another. It is like magic and it is what I strive for when I design jewelry."here are some of her other beautiful designs:here is her SHOPhere is my supply shopthanks Melissa! happy creating to all....
